Reduction to part time

0

Q. I will have 18 years in FERS and I am 59. My job  will be reduced to a part-time position in September and I need to know if I should retire before it gets reduced? Should I take the hit and stay with the part-time position until I turn 60? Will the part time reduce my annuity if I stay for the following six months?
A. Working part time for six months would have a negligible affect on your annuity. When your annuity was computed, any reduction caused by your lower pay would be largely offset by the additional six months of service.
